I am very blessed in that I live in a quiet backwater of the U.K. where we have peace and plenty, but I realize this might not be the same for some of you. Being a christian in some parts of the world is indeed very dangerous. However you must never forget that you are safe in the hands of our Father God.

I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates.
